In this class, you will learn how to use Affinity Designer to create surface pattern designs on your iPad. Affinity Designer is a powerful design program that combines many of the tools you see in programs like Photoshop and Illustrator into a single application. In this class, I'll show you everything you need to start designing pixel-perfect patterns in Affinity Designer and I'll share all of my vector assets with you as free downloads, so you can start designing patterns as soon as you get the app. I'll also share with you a set of 70 texture images that you can convert into raster or vector texture patterns for your repeats. We'll talk about the differences between vector and raster images, so you can choose the file type that best suits your project. I'll explain how: create color palettes set your document for live pattern preview create vector shapes using the pen, brush and pencil tools convert a photo into a detailed vector create a basic repeating pattern using vector shapes adjust colors , size and spacing using the live repeat preview combine textures, hand-drawn elements and vectors made from photographs create a half-drop repeat with detailed vectors made from a photograph, combined with hand-drawn vector elements hand You can use the repeats you create in this class for things like print-on-demand sites like Spoonflower, Society 6, and Red Bubble, or you can create vector images for client work or fine art prints. All you need to take this class is an iPad and the Affinity Designer app. I'll use an Apple Pencil, but you can use any pencil or even your finger.
